ArchiveWeb Interface and conventions

Default language depends on the Windows local setting of the Archive Manager server.

NOTE: When Integrated Windows authentication is turned on, the login page is skipped and the logged-in user’s credentials are used. This is set in C:\Program Files\ Common Files\ PAM \ Web \ ArchiveWeb \ Web.config where <authentication mode = "windows">.

After logging in correctly, the ArchiveWeb application opens. The top-page main bar contains search box (keyword searching in e-mail body, attachments, file content) and tabs – archive, search, report – representing the activated features of Archive Manager.

List view conventions

With advanced list view functionality provided with every ArchiveWeb list view you can easily search even in huge lists of items and adjust the list to your specific needs. List view functions are the same as for all ArchiveWeb lists. In the main pane you can switch between these types of items by clicking on the respective filter:

·archived - all folder archived items except items marked for deletion

·shortcut - archive items with shortcut in mailbox

·lost - archived items with no reference in mailbox/file system

·tagged - archived items with tag(s)

·locked - locked archived items

·for deletion - archived items that are marked for deletion, i.e. they will be deleted when their retention period expires (and delete job runs)

Preview (if available) of any item you click on appears below the list view. To open More actions menu for the item click the More actions link (MENU) on the right bottom below the list.

Pop-up preview feature is also available for Exchange, Files, Auditing and Search results items. When a user double-clicks anywhere in the item's line, the item opens in pop/up window full screen mode with all functionality as in normal view, such as multi/action menu (MENU), and comments area.

checkboxes are designed for multi-select. If MORE THAN ONE item is selected, More actions menu appears automatically below the list.

Batch selection/unselection of items is done by clicking the Select all rows (Select all items in folder)/Clear selection action links just above the list. When Select all rows/Select all items in folder action links are selected, operations are performed over all items in the given folder. (See more under "Simple Grid" section.)

It is also possible to change the column order by simple drag-and-drop action. Individual columns can be shown or hidden - these settings are managed in user profile after clicking <UserName> / Manage Settings / Profile in Columns section.

Further, lists can be:

Simple Grid

Simple Grid is specific type of grid available for Archive\Exchange, Archive\Files and Report\Auditing list view. It allows customization of the list view and offers some specific features for handling the list items as described further. Simple Grid option can be set under <Logged-on User> / Manage settings / Profile / Settings. When you select Use grid view / Simple option for the list view (e.g. for Exchange/Archive list view), the given list view will have page navigation controls and will allow user to set number of items to be displayed per page (Items per page) as shown in the screenshot below.

Asynchronous folder operations over folder are available for Simple Grid. Click the Select all items in folder link to perform operation over all items in a specified folder.

NOTE: The link does not appear on filter tabs such as “shortcut”, “lost”, “tagged”, “locked” and “for deletion”.

When a user clicks on the Select all items in folder link, the Total rows selected label will show the same number as Result count label shows. No item will be selected (see picture below).

Additionally, the preview pane displays folder operations menu (according to user permissions) except “Restore” functions. (“Restore” operations are not allowed as folder operations.)

By selecting any operation from “FOLDER OPERATIONS” action menu, a confirmation dialog appears:

Only when a user confirms this dialog the operation will be added to the Task list queue. The Task list is regularly checked for new tasks. When task arrives and no other is running, the given task will be run. Otherwise the task will wait in a queue.

NOTE: Only one task can be performed at a time.

Archive

This tab is displayed in ArchiveWeb navigation pane if Archive Manager for Exchange is installed in the environment. Under this tab you can handle emails archived by Archive Manager for Exchange. The Archive Manager archive is accessible even if the Exchange server is down. User can browse through emails, search in them, restore lost items etc. After clicking the Archive from the main bar and then Exchange form the grey sub-bar the Exchange Archive menu is unfolded on the left. It offers access to

oMailboxes

oPublic Folders

In our example we have logged in as an Administrator. Therefore, under the Mailboxes node you may see the Administrator folder. Providing that the administrator has rights to view other users’ mailboxes; these mailboxes can be listed under the Mailboxes node.

Unfolding the Administrator node displays all directories where emails have been archived (i.e. emails residing in these directories have been archived with Archive Manager for Exchange and are now placed in the archive).

NOTE: Not all Exchange tab functions may be available for the logged-on user. The functions must be allowed for the user. For more information see the Roles and Permissions sections.

·archived – all folder archived items except items marked for deletion

·shortcut – archived items with shortcuts in the mailbox are visible

·lost – items that were archived but later deleted from the Exchange server are visible; these LOST ITEMS are not accessible in the user mailbox any more

·tagged – items marked with any tag are visible

·locked – items that were locked are visible

·for deletion – items that were marked for deletion are visible because they are still in the archive and may be also visible in the mailbox as usual. When their retention period elapses, they will be deleted (see “Mark for deletion” option in the More actions topic)
